Saving Babies: A New Outlook

Abortion “rights” proponents are finding that their position is becoming even more indefensible because of the increased viability of small-sized infants.

Proponents of abortion have always maintained that abortion — that is, killing babies — is not murder, but a “termination of fetal tissue.” And the legal system has upheld that viewpoint ever since the Roe v. Wade decision, even to the point of accepting third-trimester abortions and partial-birth abortions. However, recent events have called negative attention to the “logic” of the pro-abortion stance.

On September 19, 2004, twins were born to Mahajabeen Shaik — not an unusual occurrence of itself. But what was unusual was that the twins, Rumaisa and Hiba, weighed just 8.6 ounces and 1 pound 4 ounces at birth, when they were delivered by C-section after only 25 weeks and 6 days in their mother’s womb (15 weeks before their normal delivery date). William MacMillan, the attending obstetrician, stated, “We were a little surprised at just how small Rumaisa was, but pleased to see that she was vigorous and seemed to be getting a good start.”

The obscene number of abortions in America could be reduced dramatically, if not brought to 'zero' if federal and state law REQUIRED that any woman seeking an abortion must view an actual abortion being performed (using ultrasound to observe), and then she must watch her own baby being torn asunder on a monitor mounted right in front of her head.

Yes, there would be a few murderous beeotchs who would be unphased by such graphic displays, but there would be many more women who would be unable to go through the procedure, and that means fewer babies being murdered on the altar of Margaret Sanger and NOW's 'right to choose'.

I have friends who have had abortions and they really don't know what they've done. They have no idea....

How many people's minds could be changed by one picture. Planned parenthood advertises pictures of smiling women and there's no public outcry.

We show a picture of a dead baby, and it's obscene. The truth is obscene.

What's really obscene is the following: Planned Parenthood was founded around the 20's by Margaret Sanger. She had a journal, called "Birth Control Review," which often had written in it writings on the "need" to exercise birth control and eugenics in order to remove "undesireables" from society. On at least one occasion, a guest writer to the magazine was a member of the German Nazi party.

Fast-forward to the 60's, when Martin Luther King received an award from Planned Parenthood. If you look at the statistics, about 35% of aborted American babies are black, but only about 11% of Americans are black. By accepting an award from PP and endorsing their eugenicist views, King probably made his greatest contribution to African Americans- helping to facilitate their genocide.

I saw his neice on Television, and she said he was pro-life. And I thought it was a disgrace that Planned parenthood had a big photo of him on their website!

He accepted an award from them!

I read recently that he got that award before PP was publicly known to be pro-abortion. Apparently, they hid it well in the early years.

"I thought it was a disgrace that Planned parenthood had a big photo of him on their website"

It is a disgrace, and it was a disgrace to see PP use his picture in a video they have about how the "battle" for abortion "rights" was waged. Maybe his niece can speak louder on his behalf.
